Local rapper Cassper Nyovest is gearing up to make history again after the series of 'Fill Up' events that have taken place in previous years.
The 2015 'Fill Up' was the first successful instalment, with the hit maker being the first local artist to do so without an international act.
Now, he is bringing his iconic 'Fill Up' concert to the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein, Free State, this December. The concert has become a benchmark for success in the South African music industry, and Nyovest is no stranger to pushing boundaries.
His 2015 show at The Dome was a game-changer, proving that a local artist could draw massive crowds without relying on international support. Now, he is taking that same energy to Bloemfontein.
The father of one's music has always been about more than just the beats, often speaking for itself, it's always been about sharing his come-up story with his fans, connecting with them and creating an experience that is unforgettable.
For fans, one of the experiences was the 2015 'Fill Up the Dome'.
The 'Kusho Bani' hit maker took to his Instagram to announce the news on his Instagram, sending fans in the city into a frenzy.
With hits like 'Mama I Made It' and 'Tito Mboweni', the rapper has built a loyal following across South Africa, and fans are eager to see him live.
'BLOEMFONTEIN!!!! Home of Masele!! (yah le nou), Home of the Free State Cheaters, Home of the 2nd Highest court in South Africa, Hosh Karamaima Capital (mare nna I'm married bathong), Centre of the FREE STATE!!! Bana ba ga Oumama!!!
"We heard you, kele utlwile… 06 December, Free State Stadium. RE ON ON ON!!! It's official, Bloem is the next host for FILL UP!' his caption read.

From talent search to stand-up success: Sifiso Nene preps for his one-man show
Multi-award-winning comedian Sifiso Nene as he prepares for his new one-man show, "Because Of Success." Multi-award-winning comedian Sifiso Nene as he prepares for his new one-man show, "Because Of Success." Multi-award-winning comedian Sifiso Nene is on the cusp of another milestone in his blossoming career as he prepares to take the stage for his much-anticipated one-man show, Because Of Success, at the Windmill Casino's Conference Centre on August 1, 2025. Known for his ability to weave captivating narratives from ordinary stories, Nene has firmly established himself as a fresh voice in South African comedy. Originally from Durban, his journey in the entertainment industry began in earnest after he moved to Johannesburg in 2006, aiming to become a scriptwriter for the well-known comedy show, the Pure Monate Show. However, his talent for storytelling was quickly recognised, and he transitioned into stand-up comedy, where he flourished. Nene recalls a turning point in his career when he participated in the reality competition show So You Think You're Funny! hosted by David Kau. 'That show changed my life and introduced me to the whole country. Now the Laugh Africa show has rebranded me and introduced me to new audiences. The journey has opened up a lot of doors, such as performing at different significant events, festivals and appearances on TV. All these things added value to my brand, which is why I can do my tour today,' he shared with Saturday Star. The comedian has enjoyed considerable success since then, performing at various significant events and earning a slew of accolades, including the prestigious Audience Choice Award at the second annual South African Comics Choice Awards. In 2022, Nene's engaging narrative style garnered him viral fame with his show Baby Mama Drama 2, tackling the often sensitive topic of co-parenting with comedic grace, he explained, 'I never expected to write a second installment since I believed I had gone through all the possible baby mama drama in my first show six years ago. However, the pandemic added more elements to my story, and I decided to vent in the best way I know how: on stage.' Nene explains that his latest show draws inspiration from audience interactions with his previous comedy special, Laugh Africa, aired on Showmax. 'The title was a catchy line that they remembered from the content that I delivered,' he noted. With this performance, he aims not only to entertain but also to offer audiences a fresh perspective on life through his unique lens of humour. A testament to his growing influence, his recently garnered the Winners' Choice Award at the April 2025 Comics Choice Comedy Awards, a recognition bestowed by previous award winners. 'It puts my name on the map and in greater spaces, so I honestly appreciate it,' he expressed, reflecting on his journey thus far. 'I love what I do. I strive to get better each time. That is what fuels me. To those who want to break into the industry must come. The pie is big enough for all of us.' Saturday Star

Youtuber, Trisha Paytas recently stunned the internet after she announced that she gave birth to her baby boy named Aquaman. Image: Instagram If you thought Nara Smith or the Kardashians are alone when it comes to choosing unusual baby names, you are wrong, because Trisha Paytas just joined the list. Paytas, who is an American internet personality, recently shared the name she chose for her newborn baby, the inspiration behind the name and also shared some shocking names she did not choose for him. Taking to social media on Wednesday, July 23, Paytas shared with the world that she welcomed her baby boy and revealed the most unusual name you could think of. 'AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON HAS ARRIVED 07.12.25. Thank you for all the well-wishes and fun videos guessing his name. It was so cute and made us feel so loved.

Such a positive space bringing him into the world 🧸🌊 ♬ Follow me dgibbsofficial - Dominic Gibbons Aquaman is a fictional comic strip superhero that appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. In 2018, a movie was released based on this superhero. In one of the episodes of her podcast, 'Just Trish', the mother of three shared the names she did not choose for her newborn baby. 'I will say my number one that we were so close to naming the baby is not a movie poster, but I loved it so much. It's Moses' poem Water Snake. I love Water Snake. It's the Year of the Snake, Moses is a snake. We love water,' she said. She also shared that Water, Aladdin and Moses Jr were some of the names she considered. The name Aquaman, however, stood out for Paytas because she used to be a superfan of the movie and would often wear Aquaman t-shirts. 'I've been wearing Aquaman T-shirts for years, since 2017 when the first Justice League came out. I have gone to so many Comic Cons for Aquaman. And I really fell in love when we rewatched Aquaman,' she added. Paytas' baby name sent the internet into a frenzy because many people were predicting that she would choose a name that is unusual, but also many never anticipated that she would choose Aquaman. @vanadag0at commented: 'Mind you, he has to be an adult one day.' 'Ily (I love you) babe but Aquaman?' @shrjh17 said. While @hy3n added: 'Nara Smith has sum competition.' Other social media users came up with the theory that the names she chooses to announce names that are not real, which Paytas later debunked the theory and shared a video saying that Aquaman is in fact her baby's real and legal name. 'Hi everyone, it's me and baby Aquaman who loves to sleep. This little boy loves to sleep… Let's talk about the name, baby Aquama,n because the internet is very, very divisive on it. 'Now, obviously, I really don't care; I shared the name with the world. It is his legal name, it is on his birth certificate,' she revealed.

Who will represent South Africa at Miss Universe?
Miss SA organisers have postponed their 2025 edition to 'a later date' in the year, pending a rebranding under new management. What does this mean for the Miss Universe pageant, which takes place in less than three months' time? With Miss SA indefinitely postponed, pageant fans are eager to know who will represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant, which takes place on 21 November in Thailand. Should a new queen be crowned, they will undoubtedly have less time to prepare for the international competition. Pageant enthusiast and YouTuber Rina Hendriks told The South African : 'It is difficult to say who, if anyone, will represent South Africa. The Miss South Africa organisers have not been forthcoming when they have been confronted with questions of whether or not they even still hold the Miss Universe license to send a candidate there. 'In 2023, they got rid of the Miss World license without releasing a statement to the public. 'If they do, however, still hold the license for Miss Universe, then it is possible that they may still have the Miss South Africa 2025 pageant before Miss Universe starts in November. 'If the Miss South Africa Organisation does not host a pageant before November, it is always possible for them to appoint someone, likely the runner-up from 2024, or someone else who has not previously competed at Miss Universe'. If a new Miss SA is not crowned in time for Miss Universe, it's unlikely reigning queen Mia Le Roux will compete again. Last year, the partially-deaf winner dropped out of the competition during the preliminary stages, citing health reasons. Mia Le Roux dropped out of Miss Universe over health via Instagram: @mialerouxx Like her predecessor, Natasha Joubert, who was unplaced in the 2021 edition, Mia is prohibited from entering again, as per the competition's rules. Meanwhile, Miss SA organisation will now be part of the Motsepe Group of Companies, owned by Patrice Motsepe, one of SA's wealthiest businessmen. Earlier this month, Africa Fashion International (AFI) – the fashion partner of Miss SA – revealed that it was now the 'sister company' of the beauty pageant. Miss SA now falls under the Motsepe Group of Companies. Images via Instagram: @motsepefoundation/ @official_misssa 'AFI and the Miss South Africa organisation are proud members of a larger, family-owned group of companies, united by a shared vision for creativity and excellence', read a statement posted on their social media platforms. AFI is run by Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe, the wife of Patrice Motsepe. WHO SHOULD REPRESENT SA AT THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT?
